[tonebone1]

hi guys i have a dan wesson 6 " 6mm bb revolver on the way (a gift from the family yey)and just wondered if you can fire steel bbs out of it and if so how?the steel bbs are 4.5mm arent they?can you just change the shells?or is the barrel different.sorry if this is a silly question!!

The barrel is 6mm, you can get 6mm ammo in metal
It's very expensive though
If you put 4.5 shells & BBs through the 6mm gun they will come out but the velocity will be low as the CO2 will pass the bb in the barrell and grouping wil be pants as they'll rattle about on their way down the loose fitting barrel.
It's entirely possible you could fit a sleeve to reduce the bore to 4.5mm but having one made might cost more than another Dan Wesson,

Nick

you can get 6mm ammo in metal

and glass too for the clinically insane

Those could cause an unpleasant marbles incident for the media to get excited about.

Can you get marbles in 17.272mm ?

Be nice, thats difficult, and painful, having read all of the replies, have you tried all the varying weights of plastic bb to see if they will do what you require??...mike...
